JSW Cement expects UAE unit to be completed by January 2020

JSW Cement’s clinker production unit Fujairah, UAE, is expected to be completed by the end of January 2020, according to an interview with the Hindu Business Line.

Parth Jindal, managing director of JSW Cement, noted that Ultratech and Ambuja send clinker from Gujarat to be ground near Mumbai. However, the freight from Gujarat and Fujairah to Mumbai is the same because they send it in small vessels and JSW plans to deliver it in big barges.

The US$110m project will be the main source of clinker for the company from February onwards, as the allotment of limestone and clearances in the UAE are much faster, says Mr Jindal.
